The boy is heavier than Kraerd anticipated and he starts to feel his legs burning, but he presses on anyway.

Miz walks easily with the part of the group that seems a little tired and says, “You can’t rest yet my companions! We haven’t proven ourselves or helped this young boy yet! Onward!”

The sun is still just above the treetops as the village comes into view.

Daisy and Miz, you are winded but no worse for wear. Missy, Salem, and Kraerd you are all tired and not at your best. Egil, running for two hours in your armor has been hard on your body and you are moving more sluggishly than usual.

Your group stays by the treeline as you survey the area. A river runs from the west, spilling into the bay to the East. On the near side of the river right where it runs into the Bay is a small settlement surrounded by a wooden palisade. The water from the river has been diverted to create a moat so the settlement is surrounded on all sides by water. You can see a drawbridge, but it is currently raised.

You can’t see much of what lies behind the walls, but you can see the roofs of two different two story buildings inside. There is also a stone tower that rises up to overlook the Bay.

Between where you stand at the edge of the woods and the village ahead are sweeping fields with tall grass, dull and brown from winter.  Close to the moat is a livestock pen that currently seems to be empty.

At this distance, the only thing betraying that there is something amiss is the smoke rising from behind the walls.

Anyone who would like to can make a perception check to see if they can make anything else out. (Remember, if you have any levels of exhaustion you have disadvantage on ability checks.)

The goliath looks towards the settlement worried. 

This is not what he had expected. The bridge raised, a wooden palisade, it looks like the settlement could have put a good defense against any attackers. What worried he most is that the attackers could have make themselves strong inside, and entering the village could probe harder that they had imagined in the first place.

He tries to locate the origin of the smoke they saw earlier, to see how mmuch damaged are the buildings inside. 

"How they attack started? " he asks to the boy at his back while he let him go down to the ground and stand by himself. "Weren't the drawbridge raised? Do you know a way inside the palisade?"  

( Perception: 9 )

(Perception 20)

    "Anyone up for a swim? We can try entering the town from the bay." Daisy looks to Sigvaldi to see if this may be a viable option. She then looks around to see there is a good hiding spot for the boy.

Survival 22

"The drawbridge stays up at night. There's a gate on the other side at the river crossing but that's kept shut after sundown too.  There's docks on the river so there's no wall... but you'd have to swim through the bay and that's protected. That and the water is freezing. I don't know how they got in. It was the middle of the night. When I woke up, everyone was screaming and fighting. I don't know why, but the drawbridge was down. I ran across it to escape."

Kraerd: It's probably because you're tired from the journey, but you can't see much else from here.

Daisy: You see a few figures on the wall above the raised drawbridge. It's hard to make out exactly what they look like but they are small sized creatures.

(Also added a survival check above to hide the boy.)

Miz takes a look at the town to try to see if he notices anything.

Perception 18

Daisy: You search the nearby area for a hiding place. A ways off in the trees you find a cave with a narrow entrance. You check and it doesn't look like any dangerous animals are currently making it their home.

Miz: You see the same thing Daisy does. Small figures that seem to be standing on a walkway over the drawbridge.

(OOC: Btw, I failed both con saves, no? So my speed's halved too like Egil's.)

Catching her breath from the walking, Missy will turn towards Sigvaldi. "Might someone have let them in? Any suspicious people that arrived shortly beforehand?"

(Ah you did fail both, I missed that.)

Sigvaldi will scratch his head. "There were two people who came to town earlier that day. A Dwarf and a Crow man; they rented rooms at the inn. Usually don't have many travelers this time of year, but I didn't think of 'em as suspicious."

     Daisy points to the top of the wall near the drawbridge. "Hmm... it appears whatever attack has taken control of the town. They have guards posted."

(Anything special about this village? Do they produce anything of value? Wondering what would make them a target...)

"Even rats can be cute if that serve their goals. I find weird, however that they had decided to take control of the city instead of ransack it... " 

"To be honest if they've manned the walls then we will need to be prepared and at our best, most of us are in need of rest to some degree, much as it pains me to say this it might be better to see what the morning brings." Egil does his best to hide it but he is moving slowly and seems to struggle to concentrate. 

"But... but the people! What if someone is in immediate danger!" says Missy. But she doesn't sound very convincing. She too is very tired from the walk and can barely stand.

(Missy wants to press on but her player wants to the party to rest ;))

Daisy this village isn't famous for anything you've heard of. If you ask Sigvaldi he'll say, "We don't have like... treasure or nothing. Well, Chief Thorfinn has money but that all comes from merchants paying to use our bridges to cross the river in summertime. The only thing we do is fish and raise sheep."  

Salem was having a moment of catching her breath, She wanted to press on but her legs were aching at this point. "That was a longer run then I thought." She looks up to where Daisy pointed, she takes a moment to think over a potential plan. 

"The Dark would cover us if we try to move in now, However Im sure im not the only one regretting that run." Looking to both Missy and Egil. "As much as I hate to say it, maybe it is best we bed down and tackle this problem at first light."
